Happy Wednesday!

Todays learning…………

Todays learning jobs are all themed to our story for today ‘Splatter’ on the theme of rainbows,  A Helicopter Story Approach sent by Mrs Brankin who has been kindly helping with our blog  and home learning every other Wednesday.

Literacy –

Listen to the audio story of Splatter. After listening to the story act out some of actions and movements made by the colours.   How do the colours work together to create a masterpiece?  What is good teamwork?  Do you do anything as part of a team even at home to get jobs done?  Imagine you are a colour, what colour would you be and who would you mix wit to create a masterpiece? Ask your grown up to write all of your ideas down as you work through these story questions.

 

Science- STEM EXPERIMENT

Grow a Rainbow experiment

Want to grow your own rainbow? Try this simple science experiment!  You will love seeing the rainbow come together in this simple science experiment! You can even do different patterns and colours too.

You will need:

• Paper Towel
• Washable coloured oens
• Water
• 2 Small Glasses

1. Fold over a piece of paper towel (so you have 2 pieces on top of each other).

TIP: The shorter your piece of paper towel, the better it will connect. Also make sure you are using an absorbent paper towel. We used Bounty.

2. Draw rectangles of the rainbow colours on each end.

You want to make sure to fill these colours in well so there is enough dye to travel across the paper towel.

 

3. Place 2 cups with water filled 3/4 full. You only want the bottom of the paper towel in so leave some space from the top of the cup.

Then place the paper towel into the cups, with one end in each cup.

TIP: Do not place the ends too deep in the water or the dye may dissolve into the water instead of moving up the paper towel.

4. The washable marker dye with slowly make it’s way up with the water to meet the other side in the centre of the paper towel.

5. Leave the paper towel for 10-15 minutes and it will eventually connect the colors together.
